'he attempt has been made in the following pages to 
bring the genealogical record of the Whiting family 
of Dedham sufficiently near the present time to en- 

,_ able the descendants now living to connect their own 

families with the immigrant ancestor. The "Register Plan |' has 
been adopted, not only because in the compiler's opinion it is the 
best method of arrangement for publication, but on account of its 
more general use in the best work of the present time. 

The information herein contained has been personally gleaned 
from the public records and the usual sources of genealogical in- 
formation, with the idea of making an especial feature of the 
abstracts of wills, deeds, etc. Reference by volume and page to 
the records in the various county registries is given in each case 
as well as frequent cross references to published genealogies of 

allied families. , • ^u 

The matter of English ancestry has not been cons.dered m the 
present volume, for the all-sufficient reason that nothing has been 

definitely proved. 

The compiler heartily expresses his thanks to all who have aided 

and encouraged him in the work.

NATHANIEL WHITING. 



i 




UR ancestor is first mentioned in this country in 
the Salem Quarterly Court files, in the return 
made by the Proprietors' Clerk of the number 
of acres belonging to each of the landholders at 
Lynn in 1638; "Nathaniell Whiteinge 10." In 
Lewis' History of Lynn the name appears as " Whiteridge," 
but the correct spelling has been given by later writers. 

He is next mentioned on the records of the First Church 
at Dedham : — " Nathaniell Whiting was admitted into y® 
Church 30*^^ 5m« 1641." He was granted the privileges of a 
freeman May 18, 1642. 

He was by occupation a miller, and the first to operate a 
corn mill in Dedham. 

One of the most important duties of the early colonists was 
to secure facilities for grinding their corn. Thus, in Dedham, 
on Feb. 21, 1736-7, at their eighth meeting, the townsmen 
voted to grant liberty to Abraham Shaw to erect a " Corne- 
mill " ; a month later a grant of sixty acres was made " to 
belong vnto y^ sayd Mill soe erected provided allwayes y* the 
same be a Water Mill, els not." Shaw's death, late in 1638, 
delayed matters for a while. On March 25, 1639, it was 



Ordered y* a Ditch shalbe made at a Comon Charge through 
purchased medowe unto y^ East brooke. y' may both be a pticon 



O WHITING GENEALOGY 

fence in y^ same : as also may serue for a Course vnto a water mill : 
yf it shalbe fownd fitting to set a mill vpon y^ sayd brooke by y^ 
Judgem' of a workeman for y* purpose. 

By this ingenious method a portion of the water of Charles 
river was diverted into Neponset river, and a sufficient supply 
and fall of water obtained. On the same day it was 

Ordered y' yf any man or men will vnd''take & erect a water 
Cornemill shall haue given unto him soe much grownd as was 
form'-ly granted vnto Abraham Shawe for yt same end & purpose 
w*'' such other benefitts and privelidges as he shold haue had in 
all Respects accordingly, provided y* y^ sayd Mill doth grinde 
Come before y« First of y^ tenth month as it is Jntended. 

The records do not give us the date of completion of the 
dam and mill, but a committee was appointed on July 14, 1641, 
to lay out "a cartway to our watermill." 

A grant of eight acres was made to John Elderkin and Na- 
thaniel Whiting jointly on the south side of the millpond for a 
house lot. There is no date to this grant, but the next en- 
tries are : — 

John Elderkin alienateth & Selleth to Nathaniell Whiteing & 
his assignes forever his part in the land granted for a house Lot to 
the mill with the house and buildings thereon & the part of the 
Damm & ditchings belonging to halfe the mill as appeares by a deed 
dated the 22 of the 9 month 1642. 

John Elderkin alienateth and selleth to Mr. Jno. Allin pastor & 
Nathan Aldus and John Dwight and to their assignes for ever all 
his rights & interest in the Water Mill standing upon the East 
Brooke in Dedham w'^ the Mill house dams & works thereunto 
belonging viz : the one halfe of the sd premises and Twenty acres 
of upland yet to be layd out and Ten acres of Meadow not yet layd 
out all which sd premises are alienated as foUoweth : viz : the one 
halfe to M>- Jn° Allin one fourth part to Nathan Aldus the other 
fourth part to John Dwight. 

By the following deed, recorded in the Suffolk Co. Registry, 
iv: 285, Nathaniel Whiting completed his title to the mill :

John Elderkin had also been a proprietor of Lynn in 1638, 
and had built the mill there. After leaving Dedham he built 
the mill in Reading, then removed to Providence, and in 165 1, 
went to New Haven, where be built both the first church and 
mill. He finally, in 1664, settled in Norwich, Conn. 

The mUl privilege was retained in the hands of the Whiting 
Family until 1823, when the heirs of Hezekiahs Whiting sold 
it to Jabez Chickering. 

The printed records of the Town of Dedham contain many 
entries concerning Nathaniel Whiting, the mill, his tax-rates

for town, county and school purposes, his grants of land and 
public services. 

On Jan. 15, 1682-3, the very day of his death, the town 
empowered the selectmen to make the following agreement 
with Nathaniel Whiting and James Draper, Sen'r. (Printed 
Records of Dedham, v : 140.)

He died at Dedham, 15:1 imo, 1682. His age is not given 
on the record, but he must have been at least sixty-two, as 
none were admitted freemen until twenty-one years of age. 
He was more likely of age in 1638, when he received the land 
grant at Lynn, and probably born about 161 7, making him 
twenty-six when married and sixty-five or sixty-six at death. 

The originals of his will and inventory are missing from the 
files, and the following copies are taken from Suffolk Probate 
Records, vi : 408, and ix : 117.

He married in Dedham, 4th gm°, 1643, Hannah Dwight, 
daughter of John and Hannah Dwight of Dedham. She died 
in Dedham, Nov. 4, 17 14, aged 89. She was therefore born 
about 1625, and about eight years younger than her husband. 
She survived him over thirty years, and appears to have man- 
aged his business interests and brought up their large family 
with rare discretion. 

Her will, recorded in the Suffolk Registry of Probate, xviii :

POSTSCRIPT. 



Since the preceding pages were printed, the discovery of 
the following Deposition requires a revision of the statements 
made on page 9 regarding our ancestor's age. It was found 
in the Middlesex County Court files for the year 1672, in the 
package marked "11" in pencil : 

The Deposition of Nathaniell Whiteing aged about 63- and of 
John Bacon aged about 44- in refference to an account of what was 
founde about Zacharie Smyth after his death he being slayne by 
an Indian 

_ we being p-^sent at the Search- and buriall of the Said Zachary 
did See found about him 20^ or upwards in money and besides the 
Cloathes he was buried in ther was a short stuffe Coat, and Some 
other Smale things of his brought to Dedham all which wer deli- 
vered to a man who said he was brother to the said Zachary that 
was killed. 

Taken upon oath 20 : 7 : 72. 

Before me Elea : Lusher : Assist* 

Thus we learn from his own testimony that Nathaniel' 
Whiting was born about the year 1609, instead of 16 17. He 
was therefore about twenty-nine years of age when he came to 
this country, thirty-four when married, sixty-three or sixty-four 
when his fourteenth and youngest child was born, seventy- 
three or seventy-four at death, and about sixteen years older 
than his wife. 

It is hoped that this hitherto unpublished fact may assist in 
the search for proof of his English ancestry.
